The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has accused the Teachers Service Commission of neglecting thousands of tutors who have stagnated in the same job groups for more than a decade.

The union officials said this is the case for teachers despite holding the qualifications and experience needed for promotion.

Kuppet National Executive Board officials said at least 130,000 teachers have attended multiple interviews, in some cases up to four, without securing promotions, leaving them demoralised and frustrated. "Some teachers have been stuck in the same grade since 2011.

If by 2025 they are still in the same position, it means they have stagnated.
